The Military Enlightenment brings to light a radically new narrative both on the Enlightenment and the French armed forces from Louis XIV to Napoleon. Christy Pichichero makes a striking discovery: the Geneva Conventions, post-traumatic stress disorder, the military "band of brothers," and soldierly heroism all found their antecedents in the eighteenth-century French armed forces. Readers of The Military Enlightenment will be startled to learn of the many ways in which French military officers, administrators, and medical personnel advanced ideas of human and political rights, military psychology, and social justice.


RUS

Книга Кристи Пичичеро предлагает радикально новый взгляд как на историю французских вооруженных сил от Людовика XIV до Наполеона, так и на Просвещение в целом. Автор находит в военной истории Франции данного периода истоки гораздо более поздних концептов и нарративов – от Женевской конвенции до посттравматического стрессового расстройства. По мнению Пичичеро, французские офицеры, военные администраторы и медицинский персонал уже в восемнадцатом веке развивали идеи прав человека и социальной справедливости, а также основы военной психологии.
